English

DESCRIPTION OF CONTENTS:

This report is a systematic review of the factors that influence participation in the second year of post-compulsory education or training.

The review has two products: a detailed description of the kinds of research that addressed the problem and an in-depth synthesis of the findings of the research.

COMMENTS ON THIS PUBLICATION:

Quite an in depth study although I didn't find some of the conclusions too surprising e.g. those who embark on a one year course when leaving school at 16+ are less likely to participate in full time education or training in the following year; poverty remains a significant factor behind non-participation; the labour market has a considerable influence, in particular through whether or not a qualification is required to work in a particular job.
